Ignacio girls take opener

The Ignacio High School girls basketball team opened the San Juan Basin League season with a 55-48 win Tuesday night at Dolores.

“Overall, it was a well-played game,” Ignacio head coach Justa Whitt said. “We had a steady lead of 5-8 points in the fourth quarter. And we did a good job of slowing down, running the offense and getting good shots.”

Mariah Vigil and Michelle Simmons led the balanced Bobcats with double-doubles.
